Thinkin' bout back in the days when the year was '89
Little nigga on da grind
Gotta get mine doing my crime,
With two in here,
Steady stackin' my ends
Puttin' my serve down on the Claire 9-9,
Hittin' up the Graveyard Shift with real
Little Will, Big Wally, and Wish Bone
Little Wally, high rollers and he wonder why niggas so strong
Krayzie Bone, stack right check much love
Kept a nigga on his toes in the game
It's an everyday thang when you let ya nuts hang,
Gotta make a grand at least daily man
Them Cleveland hustlers never no busters thug to the heart
We niggas from the land fool, and the old school,
Just serve out ya sentence and be cool
Fuckin' wid Trues rest in peace
Little nigga Ripster stress that Bone love
Smokin' on bud, cause a nigga Mo Thug
Callin' up my niggas when it's time to nut up
In the 9-9 niggas gon' drop to the number one with ya gun so run run
Cleveland is the city where a nigga come from
Slangin' them dumb dumb dumb dums

Niggas it's going down, up in the C-Town
Get 'em up with the thug and the nigga with the bud, got the fifth rose,
For the niggas that close hit 'em up with the forty reasons
Nigga roll up the Buddha,
Smoke it all up nigga don't stiff on the reefer
Mo runnin' up outta the club with this
Plus I got hydro and this shit is creeper creeper
Strip as you hear the double glock glock
With the me rocks cocked sweatin' me bad,
Coppers better drop when the gunshots pop glock top
Hit the body and the bullshit stop
Whenever them troublin' us,
Where the po-po niggas roll solo split up and swerve
Krayzie take caution,
Take out my llelo and tossed it
Send 'em in the road to the curb
Running, ducking, jumping,
Up in the land my niggas is crazy,
Me slangin' with 'nough 'nd me bang on the block, and nigga this daily,
Who the nigga wid the 12-gauge (Pump)
Mr.Sawed-Off Leatherface so you better pray
Eternally thugsta,
East nine-teen ninety nine, real thugs from the jump, uh

Gotta give peace to the SCTs
And the one big thug on the glock,
Pump blast for the cash
Then I mash the gas gotta dash away from the cops
Not lettin' no pause
Steadily flippin' up rows
Rippin' up flesh with six dogs
That's that thugsta yes I pump slugs
And I be dripping 'em off in thugstas
Fuck them po-po, all a dem bodies we burn, burn
And I guess that hood'll never learn
Got it dipped both in hoes and sherm
When I'm on a mission for my set-ty
Pick up my niggas be peelin' out with me
Roll up me window me wind blow fuck up my indo
I'm an enemy, even up the barrels of me 12-gauge

But it's no fuckin' wid the family

Much love much bud for them St.Claire thugs
East ninety nine is where ya find me
Slangin' them motherfuckin' drugs

Dun dun leavin' the niggas to cock it pop widda me gun
They know that me noddin' they head off
And I gots to have me fun
Leaving 'em hung, breakin' fakin'

Consider me heartless, oh yes Flesh be runnin' a hoe check

We flippin' the scripts on over

Watch out buckshots when I come buck buck

Popping a clip in them bodies me dumpin'
Watchin' you fall to the pave

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
